Hi Dojo!
Can I use a session variable from a visual as index in a Set as part of an automation script, that is triggered from the same visual?
The use case is that we have services, that include changeover switches in different slots of a modular frame. We want to control two parameters per switch from a table, which has the slot ID as display key.
We have a view with a custom property "SlotID". A visual is assigned to this view that makes use of this property in the changeover switch shapes to show the information of the switch in this slot in that shape.
I use the value of the property as value in a variable "SlotIDVar" inside the visual, which works fine using:
SlotIDVar:[Property:Slot ID]
The changeover switch executes an automation script "Switch Control" with shape data 'Execute':
Script:Switch Control|Switch=DmaID/ElementID|Input Selection=#Switch Input Selection;Slot=[var:SlotID]||Change AV Switch Input|NoConfirmation
Inside the automation script I have defined parameters "Input Selection" and "Slot". I use the visual script designer to set values for the two parameters depending on the "Input Selection" (List of available Inputs). Can I use the variable from the visual as table index of the parameter, I would like to control? My understanding is that with the 'Execute' shape data this value is available in the parameter "Slot" in the automation script!?
Note: I am using the graphical UI in the automation editor, not C# code!
An example: The property of the view is set to "2". This value is passed to the automation script and filled in as table index above to control the switch installed in slot ID 2.
Many thanks for any help!
If the script only needs to set 2 cells in a table, you can use the following code to achieve this:
You can find the id of the column parameter by double clicking a cell value in the table (this is an example from a random protocol):
The value to set can be found in the protocol itself. In your case, it's using "discreets". The interval value can be found in the protocol xml (again a random example):
If the values you want to configure depend on the input of your script, then you'll need a bit more code off course. Feel free to contact me directly if you need more help.
